To zoom in click on the image. Back in the 80's ACC would publish ACC Study Guides Series, which were "one-page instructional guides designed to assist Austin Community College (ACC) students in using the library and in writing research papers." I am featuring the Writing Process tip from ACC Study Guide Series published in 1983. What are your thoughts? Does the process remain similar or has it changed?

To explore further use the ACC Library Database ERIC (EBSCO) and type "ACC Study Guides Series".
